[Bregs];4758153 said:US and other countries have responsibility if there is UN mandate and total unanimity on the issue. when there are so many dissenting voices against attack on Syria then other options must be explored to restore peace in Syria
How can there be a united UN mandate when certain countries are against that despite knowing that people are getting killed in Syria each day and that nothing will change?
Why are they (Russia) against it? Well because Russia and USA are nearly always against each other by default because they view each other as competitors and both countries have a ambition of being the main super power.
Russia is not on the level of USA and never were and they are losing influence everywhere. They don't want to loss Syria as well and be left with no real allies in the Arab world which we all know is one of the most important geopolitical regions.
Russia was also voting against international intervention when their Serbian friends and allies were murdering Bosnian and Albanian Muslims and committing genocide in the 1990's.

Ironically the UN soldiers (Dutch) were just looking at that massacre silently since they had no mandate to engage in confrontations other than protecting the civilian population which they failed at miserably.
Are you a Muslim? If so then don't tell me that the situations are nearly not identical or that you opposed the international invention in the Balkans just because Russia voted against that in the UN?
Come on.
